Kyle,
Your message surprised me so much that I called Duane to chat. The story that I got is that he's always had only one gal that does the fiberglass work, she's been with them for about 11 years, and she works as needed to fill orders. She's taken another job, but she also made it clear that once she has her schedule figured out she may be able to continue doing some work for N&N if they need her. They have everything they need covered for now, plus short term future needs, and at this point the shop is busy filling existing orders, and they're looking at one where the customer wants a bunch of "extras", like frame & underside of body painted, engine & tranny installed, etc, etc which keeps Duane & Scott busy longer.

At this point they're giving it a little time before they start looking for a new fiberglass person, because that part of the business is covered for now and the gal that's been there is not a done deal on her new job. Bottom line, Duane's laid a lot of glass through the years, he's taught every person that's come through the shop how to lay glass right, and they plan to continue with the same quality product in the future. As for orders being "on hold" the shop is busy, they're booked out a ways, and they're letting people know that there's a little bit longer wait than it would be if you happened to call when things are slow. Didn't Duane tell you to call him if you decided you wanted a body in a month or so, and he'd love to make one for you? N&N is open for business, going strong, and God willing, will be for a long, long time.
